Well my daughter comes running to me this morning, the first day of summer vacation..... crying her eyes out, her hamster is stiff as a board . And I'm trying hard not to show the excitement inside because that damn thing kept me up many nights running on his stupid wheel.... (i'm a horrible mom huh?). anyway so after we buried him LOL, we go to the pet store... and I decide this time we'll ge
HERMIT CRABS !!! they're sooooo cute... tiny little babies.

So does anyone here know anything about these things?? The guy wasn't very helpful.... I have a few questions.
Can we hold them or is that bad??
Can they crawl around when we get them out??
How long does it take them to get as big as those HUGE ones at the store??

Thanks, google couldn't answer these questions either.....

P.S. i think i should recieve a grammy for my emoticon usage.....

MsSmartypants wants to share I guess. Best she goes and gets some medication to kill those pesky crabs.

IADOREHIM said:

What do you expect when you have a thread with the word crab in the title

IADOREHIM said:

I guess it is a familiar reference to genital itch.
